Although it’s not listed as one of Ibis’ “budget” properties, I would consider it the best budget hotel I've ever stayed at. It is a no-frills experience — no hot water or coffee in the room, compact unit. But we were extremely happy with it. It's not only near the Cologne train station, it ADJOINS it. We were expecting tons of station noise, but it turned out to be one of the quietest rooms o our trip. We had a view of one of the cathedral towers, and I imagine the view from some other rooms is even better. We also could gaze on the activity on the square. What put the experience over the top was the breakfast. We’d already been at nearly 10 (eight) European hotels, and this was the first one to serve waffles, which next to an omelette bar is the U.S. litmus test for a decent hotel breakfast. This was absolutely the best value we had on our trip.

Perfect location at HB and the cathedral. The old town can be reached in five minutes. At the shopping station you can get what you need: snacks, toiletries, a Kölsch or a good espresso. …

Central location at the main station and the cathedral. Shopping opportunities in the main station. No impairments due to the location in the station building. The old town is a five-minute walk away. Nice and helpful staff.

Nice central hotel in Cologne. Room great. You can't hear the adjacent train station even at night. Breakfast is typically top IBIS. …
